  1. Re:More analogies... on Stanford Rejects Business School Hackers · · Score: 1

    Knowledge of test questions is something that will help you cheat.

    Knowledge of admission status is just information, which is seeked as a result of curiosity; it's not like applicants could change their decisions online.

    I see. TEAL is cool in it's own way, but is pretty easy I hear, and encourages laziness. I only took 8.022, though so I'm not speaking from experience.

  7. Re:MIT's Motto - Mens et Manus - Mind AND Hands on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 1

    You mean 8.01X, 8.02X, for eXXXperiments? It sucks - apparently in 8.02X they do tons of lame circuit experiments and don't even teach Maxwell's equations. Want to learn circuits, then take 6.002!

    Interesting that it's underwater robots again?

    Actually the Ocean Engineering department was just dissolved here at MIT. And I've never met anybody in Ocean Engineering. Who wants to do Ocean Engineering?

    But it was directed by an even bigger loser. And by that time Lucas was so big that he basically took complete control of the plot and so forth. Lucas had the least input on Empire Strikes Back, and there are countless quotes from creative people on that movie about how Lucas really wanted to do something stupid and was essentially bugged and over-ruled.

  19. Re:Ken Jennings on The King William's College 2004 Quiz · · Score: 1

    Agreed.
    Anyway, they're very hard but really not too obscure if you understand the background behind a topic. I knew an average of 2 or 3 from each category, mainly because I could make inferential guesses from the questions (and I knew almost all in a few categories, like Jazz).

  20. Re:Google Suggest just isn't very useful on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 1

    Actually, I start less specific and then search more specificly to narrow down the results. The 'number of hits', that Google Suggest tells me, is very useful here.
    Anyway, the idea is that they're suggestions on what to search for - if you already know to search for 'C# structs' it doesn't suggest anything to you, since thats the right thing to search for anyway (at any rate its as narrow as you really want to get)...common sense.
    But if you can only come up with part of it...of course there's more results...there should be some suggestions too.

  21. Re:Is it worth it? on Interceptor Missile Fails Test Launch · · Score: 2

    It was just that test that cost 85 million. The actual program costs many orders of magnitude more. Also, the ICBM was a dummy... no worries.

  22. Re:I am a high school student on What Interests High-School Students? · · Score: 1

    If you're smart enough, probably if you're smart enough to be bored in math class and make the program, you don't need to practice formulas. That IS busy work. Trust me, I'm a math major. The program only cuts down on busy work, unless the problem is straight plug and chug into a formula, you still need to figure out how to do the question. And I don't see why any formula is so hard...

    If you want a robotics team, do FIRST robotics. But its a huge commitment and not at all what the OP is looking for.

  25. Re:War on China on China Bans Game Recognizing Taiwan Independence · · Score: 1

    Without China's influence the world economy would be shattered. Besides, right now we buy goods from China for free - they essentially have us buy stuff from them and then loan the money back again. The Chinese really should unlock the yuan and let it gain on the dollar though, which would bring everything back into balance.
